The handmade carpets are made of transient materials and very old discoveries are rare. The oldest known carpet was found in the year of 1947 at excavations in Siberia. After its place of discovery the carpet is named the Pazyryk-carpet or the Gorny-Altai carpet. It measures 183x200 cm and has a knot density of approximately 360 000 knots per square meter. Its making is tremendous and the carpet has a higher knot density than most carpets seen in stores today. The pattern is very interestering, the middle consists of a ribbon motif, in the border you can see a procession with deers and in another border warriors on horses. This carpet was probably manufactured in Armenia or Persia around 400 B.C. Despite recent technological advancement and development that has occured over the years, handmade carpets today are still made in the same way as they were hundreds of years ago. The art of weaving a carpet has been passed on for many generations and demands several different steps, which are all part of a genuine handicraft which we will explain more in the following pages.
